1125cc, 146bhp, 154.85mph, Insurance group 16
Based on the sports Buell 1125R, the 1125CR is essentially a naked version of the same bike. As it comes it has one-piece handlebars to mimic clip-ons, but the pay-extra upright bars make more sense to ride with – far more comfortable, fits the naked bill. It has the Buell 1125R's full-fat 146bhp engine and, despite its unusual looks, the ...
1202cc, 90bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 14
Basically, perhaps very basically, the Harley-Davidson XR1200R is a good bike. Dynamically the XR1200R performs and handles better than any Harley before. It's brisk (if not exactly fast), fun to throw around and looks good, too. The main disappointment is that it's finish and spec is pretty crude and the XR1200R looks like its engineering came out of a Polish ...

Give them a snack that's a little scary this Halloween!
Use a melon baller to drop 1 small scoop of whipped cream topping into small dessert dishes to make the whites of the "eyeballs."
Situate a blueberry in the center of each scoop to form the pupil of each eye.
Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until the whipped cream eyeballs are firm.
While you wait for the eyeballs to freeze, stir in the Jello mix with boiling water for about 2 minutes or until the mix is completely dissolved.
Add in ice water until mixture measures 2-1/2 cups.
Pour the Jello-and-water mixture into a small dessert dish around the eyeballbut leave the eyeball exposed. Continue for the rest of the dishes.
Freeze for about 1-1/2 hours or until the Jello and eyeball are both firm.

Rocio Rosales, UC Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellow at CCIS, has published a paper in Ethnic and Racial Studies (Forthcoming November 2013). The article, "Stagnant Immigrant Social Networks and Cycles of Exploitation," focuses on social network-based exploitation within a Mexican migrant street vendor community in Los Angeles.
Open doors (for almost all): visa policies and ethnic selectivity in Ecuador (Working Paper #188)
Luisa Feline Freier, London School of Economics (LSE)
Abstract: There is broad consensus that immigration policies moved from prevalent negative ethnic selectivity towards widespread ethnic neutrality after World War II. This assessment is biased because it neglects visa policy-making. Travel visas are important immigration management tools, and overt selection by national origin persists in this policy field. The paper analyses the extreme case of recent Ecuadorian visa policy-making, from the annulment of all visa requirements in 2008 to the partial reintroduction of visas for ten African and Asian countries in 2010. The Ecuadorian government justifies the restrictive response to the increase in south-south flows as security policy. Qualitative research reveals that alleged security concerns are closely intertwined with ethnic prejudice of both domestic and international political actors.
Contagious Disease, Epidemics, National Security, and U.S. Immigration: Historical Policy Responses (Working Paper #187)
Robbie Totten, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
Abstract: What is the relationship between epidemics, national security, and U.S. immigration policy? This question is important because epidemics have posed perhaps the largest security threat to humankind through history, with several of them claiming lives at a faster pace than the even great wars of the twentieth century. Extant literature in the area correctly and importantly brings attention to the danger of leaders misusing epidemic risk to justify xenophobic migration policies, but a greater understanding of the relationship between epidemics, national security, and U.S. immigration policy is required to protect against catastrophic events and bring transparency to the area to hold officials accountable for responsible policy decisions. This working paper does this by reviewing epidemics in American and world history, using the International Relations (IR) and Security Studies literatures to specify the danger of epidemics for nation-states, and identifying and providing examples using primary source evidence of three broad immigration policy measures that American leaders have utilized from the colonial period to the present-day to protect against contagions. This study has implications for American Political Development, IR, and migration research and can assist contemporary analysts and officials with forming prudent migration policies that maximize human safety.
Beyond Assimilation: The Second Generation in France (Working Paper #186)
Patrick Simon, Institut National d'Etudes Demographiques –National demographic institute
Abstract: This presentation assesses the normative model of integration, the so-called republican model, and what it means for the prospects of the second generation of immigrants in France. It shows that the salience of race and ethnicity for minority members in contemporary France is challenging the expectations of a convergence in norms, values and practices among the second generation. Data come from a new survey, Trajectories and Origins: a survey on population diversity in France, which is the largest survey ever done in France on immigrants and second generation. Promoted by INED and the French National Statistical Institute (INSEE), the survey gathered information via a long questionnaire administered in face-to-face interviews to 22,000 respondents from 5 specific sub-samples: Immigrants (8300), descendents of Immigrants (8200), Overseas French (700), descendents of Overseas French (700) and "mainstream population" (3900).
From Sheriff's Deputies to Immigration Officers: Screening Immigrant Status in a Tennessee Jail (Working Paper #185)
Amada Armenta, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
Abstract: This paper contributes to emerging literature documenting the devolution of immigration enforcement authority by focusing on the implementation of the 287(g) program in Davidson County, Tennessee. It outlines how deputized immigration officers do their work, as well as the ways they come to think about their roles in the larger immigration bureaucracy. Immigration officers see themselves as objective administrators whose primary responsibilities are to identify and process immigrants for removal, but who are not responsible for their subsequent deportation. While immigration officers never waiver about their obligation to uphold the rule of law, alternate narratives emerge depending on how they feel about the immigrants they encounter. These frames range from pride at identifying "criminal aliens", to guilt for processing immigrants who were arrested for very minor violations. Ultimately, this work shows deputized immigration officers act as extensions of the federal government, rather than independent agents.
Managing labour migration in Europe: Ideas, Knowledge and Policy Change (Working Paper #184)
Alex Balch, University of Sheffield
Abstract: Since the late 1990s many European countries have embraced the concept of managing labour migration for their national economic benefit. The last 10 years have seen dramatic changes in patterns and flows of migration into and within Europe, where overall numbers have risen markedly. The UK and Spain – one 'old' and one 'new' country of migration – are examples of this trend, where new policies have led to a complete overhaul of systems of migration management since 2000. This paper is concerned with why such changes took place and why they occurred when they did. It develops an approach that focuses on the role of ideas and knowledge in the policy process. It is based on research including interviews with key actors in the policy communities of both the UK and Spain. It demonstrates how new ideas about immigration and its effects came to be adopted in the policy process and compares this approach with established accounts of immigration policy that emphasize the role of interests and institutional effects.
Immigrant Retirement Prospects: From Bad to Worse? (Working Paper #183)
Derek Hum, University of Manitoba
Wayne Simpson, University of Manitoba
Abstract: We compare the retirement prospects of immigrant men with their native-born Canadian counterparts. Using data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID), we show a substantial gap that is concentrated in the private portion of pension income and contributions. Furthermore, this gap is larger for more recently arrived immigrant cohorts. We link these findings to the now substantial evidence on earnings differences from Census microdata. We present new estimates of the lifetime earnings trajectories of immigrant cohorts and compare them to trajectories for both random and matched samples of the native born. We calculate the implications of these estimates for the pension gap and reconcile the results with the evidence from SLID. Our results suggest that a continuing failure to integrate immigrants into the workforce will incur long run costs for Canada's retirement programs.
Central American Migration to Mexico and the United States: The Influence of Gender on Destinations and Destinies (Working Paper #182)
Carmen Fernández Casanueva, Research Fellow, El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (Mexico); Guest Scholar, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
Abstract: This article explores the role gender plays on the development of migratory trajectories of Guatemalan, Honduran and Salvadoran labour migrants crossing the Guatemala-Chiapas border. It aims to assess the way gender influences the migration processes of those crossing either to work in the borderland of Chiapas and/or with the intention of travelling northwards to enter the United States of America. By using elements of structuration theory, it contributes to the study of migration by incorporating gender as a constitutive element in the migratory process of Central Americans crossing and living in the southern border area of Mexico; an important and understudied borderland within the North American system of migration.
Estimates of the Cyclical Inflow of Undocumented Migrants to the United States (Working Paper #181)
Scott Borger, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies
Abstract: This paper constructs estimates for the inflow of undocumented migrants to the United States using survey-based micro estimates of the probability of apprehension per attempt and aggregate apprehensions data reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The robustness of the constructed data is considered by comparing the implied stock from the constructed series with previous estimates of undocumented migrants in the United States. The estimates are within the unenumerated-correction margin of error of the post-2000 Census estimates in the literature. Moreover, the estimated inflow implies a strong correlation with the business cycle in the United States and Mexico with larger influxes associated with economic conditions in Mexico.
The Declining Use of the Mixtec Language Among Oaxacan Migrants and Stay-at-Homes: The Persistence of Memory, Discrimination, and Social Hierarchies of Power (Working Paper #180)
Elizabeth Perry, University of California, San Diego
Abstract: Drawing on binational ethnographic research regarding Mixtec "social memory" of language discrimination and Mixtec perspectives on recent efforts to preserve and revitalize indigenous language use, this study suggests that language discrimination, in both its overt and increasingly concealed forms, has significantly curtailed the use of the Mixtec language. For centuries, the Spanish and Spanish-speaking mestizo (mixed blood) elite oppressed the Mixtec People and their linguistic and cultural practices. These oppressive practices were experienced in Mixtec communities and surrounding urban areas, as well as in domestic and international migrant destinations. In the 1980s, a significant transition occurred in Mexico from indigenismo to a neoliberal multicultural framework. In this transition, discriminatory practices have become increasingly "symbolic," referring to their assertion in everyday social practices rather than through overt force, obscuring both the perpetrator and the illegitimacy of resulting social hierarchies (Bourdieu, 1991). Through the use of symbolic violence, the dominant class cleans its hands and history of discriminatory practices based on race, ethnic, or cultural "difference," while at the same time justifying increasing inequality on the outcome of "unbiased" market forces. Continuing to experience and perceive discrimination, many Mixtec language speakers are employing silence as a social strategy, in which Mixtecs forgo using, teaching, and learning the Mixtec language in order to create distance between themselves (or children) and stigmatized practices, such as indigenous language use. The use of silence as a strategy does not signify that Mixtecs devalue or find no meaning in the Mixtec language. Rather, it suggests that silence is perceived to be an available and increasingly attractive social strategy in contemporary contexts.

Outback Bowl Pick: Michigan vs. South Carolina
The Michigan Wolverines didn't quite have the same success that they had in Brady Hoke's first season as head coach at Michigan. The Wolverines started the season with a big loss to Alabama and ended the regular season with a loss to rival Ohio State. Still, the Wolverines are in a New Year's Day bowl. South Carolina lost to LSU and Florida and swept the rest of their slate. The Gamecocks aren't quite the same without Marcus Lattimore, but this team is still very talented. Let's take a look at this year's Outback Bowl.

text: This wickedly clever transformation of "The Scarlet Letter" into a teen comedy owes much of its charm to Emma Stone's performance as Olive Penderghast, a smart, unpopular California high-school student who lies about her (nonexistent) sexual experience to raise her social profile and gets drawn into a vortex of real trouble. In particular, as her reputation plummets—and soars—she becomes the target of protests by devoutly Christian classmates as well as the bewildered enabler of other students' deceptions. The exuberant tale, directed by Will Gluck and written by Bert V. Royal, is energized by Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson, as the parents; Thomas Haden Church, as the cool English teacher; Lisa Kudrow, as a guidance counselor with a secret; and a host of lively classmates (including Amanda Bynes, Aly Michalka, and Dan Byrd). The comedy, which is set up by a tech-smart flashback framework, gleefully (if predictably) lampoons religious fanaticism and all sorts of hypocrisy, but it's refracted into strange and uneasy territory by the wavering play of identities, as teen-agers try on, with naïve charm, the masks that become, for adults, second nature.

UNIDO-Hewlett-Packard (HP) Global Partnership Programme
In May 2008, UNIDO and Hewlett-Packard (HP) launched HP's Graduate Entrepreneurship Training through IT, in short the GET-IT programme.
The GET-IT training programme teaches young un- or underemployed people aged 16 to 25 the basics of entrepreneurship with practical hands-on experience in the use of computer technology. The training programme empowers young people to establish and run their own business or to get employed. GET-IT courses teach young people IT solutions for daily business challenges in the areas of management and operations, finance, marketing, communication and technology management.
So far the UNIDO-HP partnership programme has set up 33 GET-IT centres in 10 countries in Africa and the Middle East, certified 143 GET-IT trainers and trained more than 15,000 students. The 10 participating countries include Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Tunisia, Uganda and United Arab Emirates.
The focus of the partnership in 2010-2011 will be on the entrepreneurship and IT training programme LIFE (Learning Initiative for Entrepreneurs) which builds on the existing GET-IT training. The LIFE curriculum, accessible online and offline, teaches students and potential and existing entrepreneurs relevant business skills with the use of technology to start, run and sustain a business. Typically, the training is made available through local partners, which are usually non-profit organizations (NPOs) or government agencies that are already active in business or IT training and support micro and small enterprises. Further information about the LIFE programme is available here.
Building on the success of the partnership over the last two years, in 2010-2011 UNIDO and HP plan to strengthen the GET-IT/LIFE programme in Africa and the Middle East and expand it to a global level covering also Asia and Latin America.

Margarita Barry was nursing her eight-month-old and browsing the news online when a headline caught her eye: "Detroit Declares Bankruptcy." Pretty soon, her inbox and Facebook feed were clogged with reports from family and friends sharing the news that Detroit had become the largest U.S. city ever to file for Chapter Nine. Barry, a 28-year-old African American web designer and entrepreneur who was born and raised on the northwest side of the city, knew it would happen eventually. "It was only a matter of when," she says.
One mosquito-heavy evening in May, I met 30-year-old Pat Valdez near San Antonio's old Lone Star brewery. Valdez makes $15 an hour working in the human-resources department of Wells Fargo. She takes classes part-time at an online university, where she hopes to earn a degree in journalism. With $30,000 in student-loan debt, she's living paycheck to paycheck. But unlike other Millennials struggling to make ends meet on their own, she's not in dire straits. After a short, "way too expensive" stint in California living with her older brother, she's back at home with her parents.
This past May, I visited Milwaukee and spent the day with a few young startup founders. You know the types: college-educated twenty-somethings who, upon graduating into a terrible job market, decided to create their own jobs instead. Bright, organized, and creative, they are the kind of Millennials often held up as the scrappy saviors of our brave new economic world. They told me how affordable Milwaukee was, especially compared to the city's pricier neighbor, Chicago. Angela Damiani, director of NEWaukee, a networking organization for young professionals, and a homeowner at 27, observed that "if you want to start a business or follow a pipe dream, Milwaukee is the type of place you can do that, because it's so small and cheap and so interconnected."
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania has long been the sort of place where you grew up and got out. But with fewer opportunities elsewhere, many young people are choosing to stay.
After 24-year-old Sam Melville graduated from a small arts school 20 minutes outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, she made a beeline for Los Angeles, where she hoped to make it in the film industry. She scored a production internship and was excited to put her film degree to good use. But she spent most of her time working at a frozen yogurt shop 30 hours a week for minimum wage, a night job that was an hour-and-a-half bus ride from her house. She was scraping by, but her career was going nowhere. She didn't have time to meet anyone. And she certainly didn't have time to work on her own projects.
Are the parents of only children selfish? Maybe, but Lauren Sandler's new book says that's okay.
When I was around six years old, I begged my parents for a younger sister. When she failed to materialize, I dreamed up Shelly, who showed up in family portraits I drew in art class with a frilly dress and a Pebbles ponytail. When friends came over, I told them she was with the babysitter. At school, I bragged about my bottle-feeding skills. After my teacher made a concerned phone call about my lies, my mother—a journalist and feminist activist who had me at 42—sat me on her lap, and we had a surprisingly candid conversation about why she wasn't going to have another baby. In her late 40s, she could have copped out and told me that biology wouldn't let her. Instead, she brushed a curl from my face and said: "We're happy with just you."

Hi All!
Im new to this site and new to motherhood. I look forward to getting to know other moms. And getting answers to my questions.
welcome :) how old is your baby? how are things going so far? I had a baby boy on aug. 2st 2009 and so far so good
New here as well!!! Best of luck to you! I had mine, finally! It's so great! How are you holding up? What do you think so far? I hope you have a healthy baby, and tons of fun!
Merry & Zak Zadra
Thank you. Zac is 5 weeks old and he was 4 weeks early. His birth date is October 10 2009. Hes doing really good. Had a little problem with the formula but as soon as I switch to a soy-based he has been good. My only problem is I wish he would sleep through the night. Especially since I ll be starting school in a couple weeks and it would be nice to sleep through the night so Im more awake for class but I dont see that happening anytime soon.
I named my baby boy Zac too. Im doing good. Wish he would sleep though the night but I think every mom to a newborn wants that. How are you doing?
Thank you!
I'm a brand new mom as well. I just had my baby boy Shayne on November 7. I would love to meet new moms as well. I am breast feeding, pumping, and supplementing with formula when needed. Is anyone else doing the same? He is doing well and gaining weight and has the right amount of poops and pees a day so I'm guessing he is getting enough food.

Occupy Eyes the Drones
"Occupy Wall Street activists claim they are being tracked, whether they were arrested at a protest or not, just for showing up at an OWS activity. A combination of overhead drones picking up cell-phone pings and GPS tracking software included in every Apple and Android phone is able to create a government database of everyone and anyone who ever went near an Occupy protest."
Meet Ayoub: The Muslim drone
"Though The Jerusalem Post has proclaimed Ayoub's voyage evidence of Israel's "increasingly brazen and confrontational enemies", rational observers might see it instead as part of an effort to deter a brazen and confrontational neighbour presiding over a cycle of murderous violence in Lebanon. Given the preponderance of the Israeli state lexicon, however, according to which self-defence against Israel is provocative terrorism and Israeli military slaughter is self-defence, the cycle is far from over."
Iran: Israel can expect 100s more UAV infiltrations
"He added that the infiltration reflected only a small part of Hezbollah's capability, and that it had dealt a significant blow to Israel, according to Fars. A number of senior Iranian officials have already remarked that the move proved Israel's air defense systems were inadequate. Iran's Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said last week that the drone infiltration has "shown the weakness of the Zionist regime's Iron Dome," while the deputy coordinator for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Jamaluddin Aberoumand said the incident indicated that the Iron Dome system "does not work and lacks the necessary capacity." The Iron Dome system, jointly funded with the United States, is designed to shoot down short-range guerrilla rockets, not slow-flying aircraft. Former Lebanese prime minister Fouad Siniora claimed that the UAV that flew over Israel was sent at Iran's behest, and that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah did not consult with the Lebanese government before sending the drone. Last week, UN Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon said that Hezbollah's decision to send the UAV into Israeli airspace could risk stability in Lebanon by prompting Israeli retaliation."
UK to double number of drones in Afghanistan
The UK is to double the number of armed RAF "drones" flying combat and surveillance operations in Afghanistan and, for the first time, the aircraft will be controlled from terminals and screens in Britain. In the new squadron of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), five Reaper drones will be sent to Afghanistan, the Guardian can reveal. It is expected they will begin operations within six weeks. Pilots based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire will fly the recently bought American-made UAVs at a hi-tech hub built on the site in the past 18 months.
How Russia and Georgia's 'little war' started a drone arms race
"Meanwhile, the fate of the drone deals between Georgia and Israel played a major factor in the quick deterioration of what Caucasus expert Michael Cecire described as a "love affair" turned "messy divorce." Pre-2008, Israel enjoyed arguably its strongest ties in the region with the pro-Western government of Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. Israel sold Georgia 40 drones, anti-aircraft equipment, and trained Georgian infantry through private defense firms. In the run-up to the war, however, Russia put heavy pressure on Israel to cancel its arms deals with Georgia, and publicly implied it would consider selling advanced equipment to Israel's enemies if it did not give in. Israel acquiesced two days before the start of the conflict, a move that Georgian Minister for Reintegration Temur Yakobashvili, now ambassador to the US, slammed as "a disgrace."
Alameda County Sheriff plans to buy a surveillance drone
"The units can be outfitted with high-powered cameras, thermal imaging devices, license plate readers and laser radar. Police and sheriffs already use some of those tools. However, combined with a hard-to-detect drone, they offer authorities unprecedented capabilities for mass surveillance using militarized equipment."The law hasn't caught up with the technology," said Trevor Timm of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a privacy rights group. "There are no rules of the road for how they operate these things."
This Eagle-Eyed Heron UAV Can See From Tel Aviv to Cyprus
"The Heron 1 (Shoval) is a Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) drone, capable of staying aloft for up to 52 hours with an operational ceiling of 35,000 feet. Developed by the Malat (UAV) division of Israel Aerospace Industries, the Heron 1 measures 79 feet long with an 86-foot wingspan and weighs 8,800 pounds. A single Pratt & Whitney PT6A 1,200-hp engine propels the drone along at a brisk 130 MPH. The Heron is capable of flying completely autonomously in all weather conditions—including takeoff and landing—over a pre-programmed flight path using its internal GPS receiver, or can be flown manually by a remote operator. "I can say we are flying above Gaza to the south, the West Bank to the east, in the north [possibly over Lebanon and Syria] and in the west [over the Mediterranean] without being detected," said Maj. G, an executive officer of the IAF's 200 Sqdn, told Aviation Week. "It is not stealthy, but it is silent and very discrete."
Meet the SQ-4 Recon UAV, a $32K Remote-Control Surveillance Drone
"British-company BCB International yesterday unveiled its SQ-4 Recon UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), a miniature aerial surveillance drone that's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The company says the UAV can fly up to 30 minutes on a full charge, and it is capable of operating at a distance of more than 1.5 miles away from its remote control."
Drones may soon buzz through local skies
"Peverill and Woodworth's start-up, Rotary Robotics, is just one of several local groups working to demilitarize drone aircraft. While the armed forces have deployed unmanned aerial vehicles in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya that cost millions and are sometimes armed with Hellfire missiles, this new fleet will be small, cheap, and geared to tasks like evaluating farm crops, finding missing children, or inspecting bridges. Many expect that the domestic UAV industry is about to take off, and the Federal Aviation Administration has estimated that 30,000 drones could be aloft by 2020. "We're in a rapid spool-up phase now, where we're thinking about going from producing tens of aircraft per month to a thousand or more," says Tom Vaneck, vice president of space technologies at Physical Sciences Inc. in Andover."

Friends of the Earth voices for climate justice shut out in Copenhagen
Yesterday Friends of the Earth were suspended from the UN climate talks despite having all the relevant accreditation . The reasons varied from "fire regulations" to "security concerns." We think this is a result of our critical voices at the summit and our demands for climate justice for developing countries.

COP 15 begins - part one
The waiting is over. Yesterday was the first day of the Copenhagen climate summit and the Klimaforum - the people's climate summit. Our first posting is from the Klimaforum where I spent the day.
The official launch of the Klimaforum took place in the evening with music and speeches from Henry Saragih, general coordinator of Via Campesina, Nnimmo Bassey, chair of Friends of the Earth International and Naomi Klein.
Nnimmo called for an end to backroom deals in the Bella Center - the venue of COP15 - and urged the delegates to listen to the voices coming from the people's summit.
The Kilmaforum was for "real people, talking about real problems, getting together to create movements and share the real solutions to climate change" he said.
On carbon offsetting he issued a red card to REDD, the carbon offsetting mechanism supported by many industrialised countries.
He finished his speech by calling on the audience to join him in one of his chants: "Keep the oil in the soil, keep the coal in the hole, keep the tar sands in the sand." Warmed up with Organic beer the audience were happy to oblige.
Following on from Nnimmo Naomi Klein the Canadian author of No Logo and the Shock Doctrine took to the stage and stated that "There is a difference between a deal and success and Klimaforum09 needs to be the lie detector when the politicians come out with a deal."
This chimes exactly with Friends of the Earth International's demand that a deal is not what we're after it's a just climate agreement. This means emission cuts in developed countries, and money for developing countries to grow cleanly and adapt to the effects of climate change – but it also means a change in our consumption patterns.
As Naomi Klein put it, "Klimaforum is not about giving charity to the developing world it's about taking responsibility and the industrialised countries cleaning up our own mess.
Go to the Klimaforum website to find out what's taking place over the next two weeks.

Blogging from Copenhagen
As world leaders meet in Copenhagen to discuss efforts to tackle global warming, we will be there calling on the rich industrialised countries to agree to urgent and dramatic cuts in their emissions right NOW.
Members of Friends of the Earth International will be in Copenhagen blogging right here on the many events taking place; from the UN negotiations in the Bella Center to the civil society event, the KlimaForum, where the people most affected by climate change will have a voice.
Outside there will be many peaceful demonstrations taking place including the Flood for climate justice where thousands of people are expected to flood through the streets of Copenhagen calling for a just climate agreement.
Also on this site you will find our latest press releases; publications; and the climate capsule where, in words, video and photos, people tell the world why they want a just agreement in Copenhagen.

FoEI members nominated as 'Time heroes of the Environment'
We're delighted to announce that Nnimmo Bassey, from Friends of the Earth Nigeria, and Syeda Rizwana Hasan, from Friends of the Earth Bangladesh, have been nominated by Time magazine as heroes of the environment for 2009.
nnimmo bassey
In his interview with Time magazine Nnimmo talks of how a massacre in 1990 by Nigeria's armed forces prompted him into championing the environment and rights of the people around him.
"We realized that if people don't have a safe environment to live in, then they don't have literally any other rights," he says.
He talks about the work of Friends of the Earth Nigeria in documenting the environmental abuse caused by the oil companies, his efforts to educate people on their rights and the fact that his work often puts him on a collision course with the authorities.
"Oil has been the destruction of the Nigerian economy," says Bassey. "It destroys the relation between the people and the state" he says.
Syeda Rizwana Hasan
Rizwana, who is also a member of the Friends of the Earth International board, has been nominated for her legal work in advocating for tighter regulations for the country's environmentally devastating ship-breaking industry
Ship breaking is a big employer in Bangladesh - last year over 150 ships were decommissioned - and the authorities often turn a blind out to the immense harm it causes.
Rizwana sees it differently, "It's better to be jobless than to have a job that gives you cancer" she says.
In March 2009, the Supreme Court laid down strict regulations on the industry, resulting in the closure of 36 ship breaking yards operating without environmental clearance.
The government has since appealed against the ruling but Rizwana and her team will fight on.
"I don't want the outside world to think of Bangladesh as a dumping site," she says. "It is against my dignity. It is against the dignity of my nation and the dignity of the people."

Extractive Industries: Blessing or Curse?
Friends of the Earth Europe are hosting a one day conference in Brussels looking at the environmental and social Impacts of the oil and gas Industry.
The Conference aims at presenting solutions and developing policies that will result in reducing greenhouse gas emissions (for the oil and gas industry), conserving energy, reducing environmental pressure across chains of production (fossil fuels) and making sustainable use of natural resources (oil and gas).
It will bring together representatives of civil society from European and developing countries including communities affected by the industry operations, the European Commission, the European Parliament, industry, international organisations and the media.
Speakers include the Friends of the Earth International Chair, Nnimmo Bassey, our economic justice coordinator Paul de Clerk and many more.

FoE Malta climate change photo competition
The climate is changing... are you?
Friends of the Earth Malta is launching an international photographic exhibition and competition on the effects of climate change. The theme is: 'Climate Change: the change is already here.'
Science shows that the present state of our planet will not improve any time soon if we do not take action now. The biggest impacts will be on poor and developing countries, especially small island states. The biggest culprits of greenhouse gas emissions are developed countries.
FoE Malta is looking for photos illustrating damage caused by climate change - photos which capture what is being changed, damaged and lost both in the natural and human world.
They're looking for photos that illustrate the effects of climate change already influencing natural processes on our planet, affecting the lives of millions of people, disrupting animal habitats and eco-systems. And photos that show human beings as an integral part of the impact of climate change (i.e. ice-melting; flooding; desertification, drought) will be appreciated. Use your imagination when shooting and processing photos.
The deadline for the competition is August 9, 2009.
Contact Christian Debono for rules and more information about the contest.

The alternative G8 summit final summary statement
Ahead the G8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy, members of civil society movements gathered in Sardinia for an alternative G8 summit.
The FoEI mission to Honduras calls for solidarity
The criminal repression of the demonstrators who gathered on Sunday in Honduras to welcome his president Manuel Zelaya, resulted in two people dead and tens of injured. Besides this, the coup perpetrators decided not to allow the return of President Zelaya to Honduran territory.
This marks the start of a new state in the struggle for sovereignty and the peoples' rights, as well as the incipient democratic processes in the region. These events lead to a call to strengthen and radicalize the actions in support of the Honduran people.
The coup d'état in Honduras should be understood not only as an action against a certain people or country, but as an attempt against the social victories that have been achieved by the popular struggles determined to end hunger and injustice in the region. These violent attitudes are motivated by the interests of groups and corporations who see their political and economic privileges collapse. They don't even care to challenge the international community represented by oranizations like the OAS or the UN, which have condemned the coup in Honduras.
FoEI's mission had planned to enter Honduras by land, or by air, but in both cases we were unable to do that, so we stayed in Managua holding meetings with La Via Campesina, planning the solidarity and sovereignty strategy for the region. We urge you to increase the pressure in your own countries to publicly reject the military coup and the de facto government, and to start emergency fundraising to support Madre Tierra.

The World Water Forum
Delegates are gathering in Istanbul this week for the 5th World Water Forum (WWF). Meanwhile the Peoples Water Forum is holding solidarity events around the world to mark World Water Day.
The forum, held by the World Water Council, is intended as a space for governments and industry to exchange ideas about conservation and the development of water resources. Critics, including Friends of the Earth International, argue that members are more concerned about restricting access to water and pushing a privatisation agenda.
By way of protest the People's Water Forum is holding solidarity events around the world to mark World Water Day on March 22 by declaring water a human right and a central component of the global commons.

The City of Rogers
Photo of the Month
Springs Park
By Emilee Dehmer, Research Assistant
In the 300 block of NW "B" and NW "C" streets in
downtown Bentonville you will find a humble little park
by the name of Park Springs Park. When you arrive you
see a modest pavilion and a few signs telling about the
Burns Arboretum/Nature Trail. Never would you suspect
that nearly 100 years ago it was a bustling hotel and
sanitarium and just 70 years ago it was the site of the
Ozark Bible College.
Since the late 1800s the park, known as Springs Park,
was already a place for the community to gather and in
1893 the State Confederate Veterans Reunion was held at
the park. It was only when two therapeutic springs were
discovered on the site that it became an idea to place a
hotel there. Some time in the early 1900s A.T. Still
opened a sanitarium and changed the name to Park
J.D. Southerland purchased the property in 1913 and
converted the hotel and sanitarium to a resort location.
Describing itself as a "beautiful two-story rustic
structure" where "families escape the hot weather in the
cities" with unbelievable healing properties it was easy
to the see the lure of the grounds. Soon it became known
as the "Famous Park Springs Radio-Active Water" and
offered medical treatments for "kidney, bladder, and
stomach diseases, diabetes, and rheumatism" by
"drinking, inhalation of steam or vapors, douches,
irrigation of accessible organs, and applied externally
by various kinds of baths, packs, showers etc."
Southerland also enticed visitors by having the Frisco
Line run directly to the Park Springs Hotel. It ran on
the AR&NW Railroad on the main Frisco line every hour.
Southerland himself owned the line and the motor coach,
which was reported to be "red, trimmed in black, and had
gold lettering" and could seat 130 passengers. Many
guests of the hotel would come for weeks and sometimes
for an entire month, and the hotel offered the luxurious
service of delivering a guest's luggage from the train
straight to their rooms.
Unfortunately, in 1916 Mr. Southerland began having
business troubles and sold the land to George and Clara
Crowder. The Crowder's took over the hotel but a little
after three months of owning it, on July 24, 1920; a
fire broke out and destroyed the entire building. That
didn't deter the Crowder's though and the next year, on
June 3, 1921, they reopened the business. They continued
to run the hotel until Clara's death in 1924.
The building is said to have been used as a nursing home
for several years until it was closed down. The land
then sat empty for several years until purchased in 1940
by the Ozark Christian College. On June 24, 1942 the
Bentonville location of the Ozark Bible College opened,
which offered both occupational and Bible training. It
ran there for four years until the location was
transferred and is now where it sits today in Joplin,
After that, the building once again became a nursing
home until it too closed. Sometime later the land went
back into the ownership of the City of Bentonville and
was converted into the park that is now there. In 1996
the Burns Arboretum/Nature Trail was dedicated by the
Bentonville Rotary. The project was coordinated by Bob
C. Burns, Rotarian and President of Northwest Arkansas
Community College. On the trail there is 43 different
trees marked with green painted numbers, and 22
shrubs/plants marked with red. While some of the trees
are only 8 years old, it also holds a tree that stands
as Arkansas' oldest and tallest; the White Oak which was
sprouted in our nations most prominent year, 1776.
Today if you go out driving down NW "B" street in
Bentonville you will find rows of houses and one park.
At first glance there is nothing special about it, just
a small play area, pavilion, and restroom. But if you
decide to venture down onto the trails, you'll find so
much more. The bridges, waterfall, and old cement
structures can only provide a small glimpse into what
once was a prominent location so many years ago. While
nothing remains of what used to be, except maybe an old
rotted nail, or a handprint left in the cement, there
are so many new memories and new moments that are being
had every day. But if you go out walking down the trails
on a nice quiet day, you can almost see everything Park
Springs Park used to be.

I feel like we have been through a war together.
I have to say, I do not recognize France. Rodilhan looked like a town under siege during a war. I remember women, my mother's age, running towards us, away from the barricades, screaming, attempting to breathe after being gassed at point blank range. Others rushed passed us towards the barricades, bravely towards the real criminals, the police–the state.

Thugs and bullfighting pass for culture in southern France

American Tourists who are visiting the village of Rodilhan on October 27 will see a side of France that the French government would rather not have them see. There, they can view the dirty little secret that passes as culture. That secret is bullfighting. Those who think bullfighting is illegal in France will be almost right. However, there is an exception. French anti bullfighting laws are lifted because slaughtering bulls in the bull ring is considered part of the area's culture.

The French tourism industry doesn't really want you to know about it. You won't find it anywhere on the official French government tourist office website. France is a civilized country, known as the culture capital of the world, right? But did you know that the act of torturing an animal to death was successfully elevated in status to "culture" and "art" by French lawmakers? Yes, it's true--the French government, a handful of celebrities including tax fugitive Gérard Depardieu and thousands of deluded sadists using "tradition" as an excuse, are complicit in some of the most horrific animal abuse in the world--bullfighting.

My Sunday column is a side trip from the issues I mostly write about, and has nothing to do with international relations or politics. Rather, it's about our ethical obligations to animals.
Continue reading...
Comment by CAPS President Deborah Howard:
"I have long admired your column for addressing human rights issues, especially those of women in third world countries. Please also address the suffering of those animals kept in horrific conditions in thousand of puppy mills in the Midwest, PA and NY (the latter two have mostly Amish mills) in order to produce puppies for pet shop and Internet puppy sales.
The Companion Animal Protection Society, the nonprofit I started more than 20 years ago, has investigated more than 1,000 puppy (and cat) mills, most of them USDA-licensed. Our undercover employment investigation brought down one of the largest and most notorious dog brokers in the country (she had 900 adults dogs and 400 puppies). We were also behind the OIG's scathing report on the USDA's failure to enforce the Animal Welfare Act as it pertains to this industry.
While millions of dog, cats and other companion animals suffer and die in often substandard shelters around the country, uninformed consumers continue to buy, often on impulse, puppies and kittens from pet shops and online. There are 111 pet shops in NYC, Westchester and on Long Island. Meanwhile, the conditions at Animal Care and Control centers in NYC are horrible. Young kittens, often as young as a month or less, are routinely euthanized.
You and your readers can watch our undercover footage, read our investigation reports and learn more about our outreach and ordinance work on our website."

Kellilyn grew up with teachers. Both her mother and her maternal grandmother taught. She began teaching eighth grade English at JHS five years ago, her first teaching job.
"I truly feel God has given me the gift of teaching," she said. "I enjoy being around the students, teaching them, and being able to have the experience of watching them learn and grow and mature into young men and women. I enjoy being with them for a year, watching them develop their skills, while encouraging them to be successful in every area of their lives."
Kellilyn said she feels that God led her to teach.
"I hope to be more than a teacher of English," she said. "I hope that I can teach them life skills and aspects that I think our culture doesn't teach well. I absolutely love Jacksonville High School. I feel blessed to be a part of a school that has lots of vision and support. And my colleagues are outstanding. I have developed many life-long friendships."
Kellilyn said her two favorite teachers - her mother, Vivian Johnson, and her grandmother, Joyce Tillison - made a huge impression on her. Her brother, Jason Johnson, is also a teacher and head basketball coach at Alexandria High School.
"People have always told me about the impact that both my mother and grandmother made on their lives, and that made me realize that one of the greatest gifts we can give others is to teach," she said. "I would do it free, that's how much I enjoy my students."
Both of Kelliyn's parents graduated from JHS. Her father is the late Mike Johnson. She's also the granddaughter of Louise Johnson.
Kellilyn and her husband, Tim, have been married 12 years. Tim, a native of North Carolina, is production manager at Tyco in Anniston. Their children, Lauren, 9, and Madison, 6, attend Kitty Stone Elementary School.
They met through christianmatchmaker.com. They began talking online in November and met for the first time in February in Douglasville, Ga. They agreed to meet halfway, but her parents would only allow her to drive as far as Douglasville.
"They were nervous about it," said Kellilyn. "The cell phones we had back then weren't as reliable as they are now."
Kellilyn said she was at the point in her life where she knew God was showing her that He wanted her to be with a man who would be a wonderful father to her children, a good husband to her and a spiritual leader in their home - in other words - someone like her own father.
"I was looking for all these qualities," she said. "When we met I already knew a great deal about him because of our communication. That first time we met and spent the afternoon together, it confirmed to me that God had put him in my life, and I wanted to spend more time with him to see if he was truly the one."
Kellilyn was educational leadership consultant for her sorority which required her to travel seven days a week. She and Tim only managed to see each other about every six weeks.
That changed when they said their wedding vows in August 2001.
Kellilyn has played the piano at Leatherwood Baptist Church since 2003.
She credits her talent to the Lord and her teacher, the late Jan Rhodes.
"I took lessons from Jan from the time I was 6 years old until my freshman year in college," said Kellilyn. "I loved Jan and was honored to be her student. I also took for a while from Dr. Susie Francis Dempsey."
Kellilyn helps lead Bible study from time-to-time, and Tim and Kellilyn teach a young married Sunday School class. She and her family enjoy serving in various capacities within their church.
She enjoys running and is currently training for a half marathon in November in Savannah. She also likes to cook, shop, read and write.
"I had a wonderful experience with the writing project at JSU through Gloria Horton," said Kellilyn. "Through that experience I was able to revisit writing on a personal level instead of just in the classroom."
She likes to read Karen Kingsbury's Christian fiction books, young adult novels that she teaches during the year, and her Bible.
Kellilyn said there are many things she appreciates.
"I'm so thankful that I'm from Jacksonville and that I'm a part of such a thriving community," she said. "We have dynamic leaders, a wonderful school system and a prestigious university. We're in a great part of Alabama and should all be thankful for the resources we have around us."

Ask The Experts: How Many Hard Runs And Rides Should I Do?
- By Matt Fitzgerald
- Published Sep. 20, 2010
- Updated Sep. 24, 2010 at 1:18 PM UTC
Q. Dear Experts, I have been running and cycling for several years and only recently transitioned to triathlon. As a runner I've
